NEW YORK—The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will release its latest Small Business Credit Survey Tuesday, August 12, at 10 a.m. The report will be available under embargo at 9 a.m.

The Small Business Credit Surveyprovides insight into the dynamics of the small business lending market in the region. The survey asks small businesses in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania about their business performance, financing decisions, and credit experiences. Responses for the latest survey were collected from April-June 2014. Businesses reported information for 2013.

Established in 2010, the survey represents the opinions of smaller firms (typically fewer than 10 employees and under $5 million in annual revenues). Responses are collected through an online survey with distribution assistance from public and non-profit partners and weighted to be representative of small firms in the region.
